Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...

Center

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film's central subject matter of family, romance, and single parenting is inherently apolitical, focusing on universal themes of human connection and personal growth. The solution championed is the formation of a loving, blended family through compromise and emotional development, which does not align with any specific political ideology.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie features a visibly diverse cast, partly due to its South African setting, but does not engage in explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative focuses on romantic comedy and family dynamics, portraying traditional identities neutrally or positively without explicit DEI critiques.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NeutralConfidence: Medium

The film includes a supporting gay couple, Eddy and Ginger, whose stable relationship is depicted without prejudice. While Ginger's flamboyant portrayal leans into some stereotypes for comedic purposes, their presence is incidental to the main narrative, resulting in a neutral overall impact on LGBTQ+ themes.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

Blended is an original romantic comedy film with no pre-existing source material, historical figures, or prior installments. All characters were created specifically for this movie, meaning there are no established characters whose gender could have been swapped from a previous canon.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

Blended is an original film from 2014, not an adaptation, biopic, or reboot. All characters were created specifically for this movie, meaning there is no prior canon or historical record to establish a baseline race for any character. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
